​It was Thursday afternoon and I was sitting on my chair and was little depressed, not feeling to do anything constructive even after making many failed attempts of pushing myself towards the work.

Before further crossing the next limit of frustration and boredom, I pulled myself back and consciously thought to find out the probable reasons behind my mood swing. I listed down all the main events which I did and didn’t in the lasts two- three days and which were like as follows:

I worked too much and didn’t get the enough sleep

I was working on the another spreadsheet but nothing constructive was coming out

I didn’t went outside in the last 10 days

I had an argument with my near and dear ones

I was a serious person, with no quotient of fun in me, for the last 3 days

I didn’t have a talk with any of my good friends

I was successful in jotting down the main causes for my mood swing from good to bad in the last 2-3 days.
After that I thought of rectifying every event which was responsible for my bad mood and gloomy face. I realized that it is difficult to take corrective actions at once for all the above mentioned causes. Therefore, I chose taking one step at a time strategy.

First, I took enough sleep and slept for around 8 hours, leaving all the worries behind. When I woke up, I was the changed person with fresh mind and full of energy.

In the evening, I went for a long silent walk with my children. We had fun while walking and observing the other visitors and we even had peanuts, purchased balloons and played game on that evening.

In the night, I called one of good friends whom I had not talked for the last 1 year and it was a very good feeling to hear this that he has become a father to a baby girl. He invited me to his home for the weekend party to celebrate the occasion. That day was very happy and it was memorable day for me.

The very next morning, my energy score was +100 and went back to my work with full dedication and devotion. I successfully completed working on my next worksheet, solar feasibility spread-sheet, within a week and launched it a day before I was invited for the party.
That spreadsheet is a success and selling hot and it is big thing for me. I realized that how small improvements & changes which I gradually made in those last two days resulted in making a new and innovative thing, the solar feasibility spreadsheet. It actually was an achievement in my professional life and the positive response from the buyers boosted my confidence to move ahead without worrying about the results.

Conclusion

I further realized that the same principle is applicable for the life. If you want to achieve anything big in life then you need not to make big change all of sudden but take small corrective actions every day. These small changes will definitely take you ahead and help you in realizing your goal in the life.
